Ich lese:
"American civil religion is a sociological theory that a nonsectarian quasi-religious faith exists within the United States with sacred symbols drawn from national history. Scholars have portrayed it as a cohesive force, a common set of values that foster social and cultural integration.
Fourteen principal tenets:
1. Filial piety
2. Reverence to certain sacred texts and symbols such as the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the flag
3. The sanctity of American institutions
4. The belief in God or a deity
5. The idea that rights are divinely given
6. The notion that freedom comes from God through government
7. Governmental authority comes from God or a higher transcendent authority
8. The conviction that God can be known through the American experience
9. God is the supreme judge
10. God is sovereign
11. America's prosperity results from God's providence
12. America is a "city on a hill" or a beacon of hope and righteousness
13. The principle of sacrificial death and rebirth
14. America serves a higher purpose than self-interests"
Interessant auch, daß in der Nachtkastellade jedes amerikanischen Hotels das Neue Testament liegen muß.
